When you cut taxes, you see opportunity expand. Hits federal government for being a 800 pound gorilla on Indiana.
My number one priority is jobs and economic growth, expanding opportunity for young people.
Cruz: if I'm elected president, we'll repeal Obamacare, pass a simple flat tax, end the IRS, rein in EPA regulators and end sanctuary cities.
Cruz: Pence's endorsement latest indication that Republicans are uniting behind our campaign
On Donald Trump protest in CA:
The first amendment protects everyone's right to speak. These protestors don't have the right to silence anyone. Suggests they're from moveon.org. Not acceptable to threaten violence like the protestors are doing.
Cruz on Pence: I am thrilled to have his support. He's a strong conservative. Dismisses media for saying his endorsement wasn't strong enough.
Cruz: John Boehner went out of his way to call me the devil, but praised Hillary Clinton and Trump.
Hillary and Trump are flip sides of the same coin. Notes that John Boehner is a part of the problem
When Trump was funding the gang of eight, I was fighting against it. Hits Trump for bringing in foreign workers to work for his hotel.
On Indiana -
Indiana is incredibly important. Eyes of entire country is on Indiana. Indiana will make a choice-what direction is the country and party is going to go. If we nominate Donald, he and Hillary are flip sides of the same coin. We will have failed the country and party if two rich, big government liberals are on the ballot. Hits Trump and Hillary for having the same position on many issues.
Cruz: naming Carly as VP presents a clear contrast.
We're campaigning through the end as long as we have a path to victory.  Notes that if you can't earn a majority, you aren't going to win a general. Says Trump can't earn a majority.
Cruz: a vote for John Kasich is a vote for Donald Trump. He's gone 1 for 41.
Hits Trump for touting Mike Tyson's support. A convicted rapist, Cruz points out.
Cruz: I have news for Donald Trump. Rapists are not tough guys.
